As for classic fried foods, baking, grilling or roasting should also be the
rule. Bacon and sausages, for example, can be baked and will come out
just as crispy and tasty as fried. In fact, if you think of it, almost anything
you fry can be grilled, roasted or baked - even fried chicken!
Check out YouTube for some delicious baked fried chicken recipes that
are just as tasty but massively healthier and lower in calories.
The bottom line is this: avoid frying as much as you possibly can. Frying
saturates the food with unhealthy fats. This is what makes them a health
risk and not the type of food. Always grill, bake or roast meats on low to
medium heat so that they cook in their own juices and are less fat-
saturated.
A great suggestion is to invest in a big wok, which can be a great
replacement for the frying pan. All it takes is some creativity, a good
oven and a grill and a wok. The result? Super healthy versions of your
favorite meals that you can enjoy guilt-free!
